29, for real!

It's the final hour of my 29th birthday. Which, is actually my *30th* birth DAY, if you count the first one. But I'm not into getting all Confucius on everyone! So, happy birthday to me, #29.

(yesterday I dressed up as the Spider Witch for the Grade Three party I was in charge of at the school)

The biggest question I get on my birthday is what my plans are for the night.

Um.

If you didn't know... I was born on Hallowe'en.... so.. my plans? For the night? usually the same as they are on EVERY OTHER HALLOWE'EN NIGHT for EVERY OTHER PERSON!!!----- I plan on taking monkeys around door-to-door and making sure they say trick-or-treat and that they use their manners and say thank you and don't walk on people's grass and all that fun stuff.

It is a birthday tradition... or, a BOOrthday tradition!

So, Will and I took 7 kids out collecting swine flu candy. We then headed over to KJ's house (the new name of Tawny's sister and brother, who are in our ward and are very kind) who invited us out to dinner and games. While the older kids took off in groups to get full candy bags, Mimi and Bear stayed with the adults and watched scary TV while the Moms and Dads played games at the table. It was an easy night, albeit a late night, and so it was into baths and bed and change the clocks and wait for the teenagers to get home from their friends' houses...you know, again, regular day stuff.

And, for what it's worth, I miss blogging. I really need to get back into it-- things have gotten so busy lately and I feel like I've had nothing of note to say. But worse yet, I am so removed from my friends' lives too! :( So, I'm vowing to do better in November.
